INTRODUCTION. 


The  volumes  of  the  "  Manuals  of  the  Corporation  of  the 
City  of  New  York,"  which  is  the  full  title  of  what  are 
generally  known  as  "  Valentine's  Manuals,"  contain,  besides 
the  statistics  and  lists  of  city  officers,  a  mass  of  "  Historical  " 
matter,  consisting  of  extracts  from  old  city  records  and  old 
newspapers,  descriptions  of  old  maps  and  views,  reminis- 
cences of  old  residents,  etc.,  interspersed  with  a  lot  of  mis- 
cellaneous matter,  some  of  which  does  not  relate  to  New 
York  at  all,  strung  together  without  any  apparent  order  or 
system,  just  as  they  happened  to  come  into  the  hands  of 
the  printer.  This  forms  a  queer  patchwork  of  rather 
uneven  value,  filling  a  little  over  four  thousand  pages  in 
twenty-six  of  the  twenty-eight  volumes,  of  which  a  complete 
set  consists. 

They  also  contain  some  8oo  illustrations  and  maps,  most 
of  them  of  great  interest  at  this  time,  distributed  through 
the  volumes  with  the  same  disregard  of  system,  and  if  possi- 
ble adding  to  the  confusion  by  having  descriptions  in  one 
volume  while  the  prints  are  in  another. 

To  this  add  a  variety  of  sizes,  running  through  the  whole 
gamut  from  iSmosto  8vos,  the  first  three  being  i8mos,  the 
next  four  i6mos,  then  eighteen  i2mos,  winding  up  with 
three  Svos  ;  complement  this  with  repetitions  both  of  prints 
and  of  articles,  and  you  have  a  literary  mess  which  it  would 
be  hard  to  equal  and  which  has  always  been  the  despair  of 
the  student.  The  only  thing  in  which  these  volumes  main- 
tained an  unbroken  uniformity  is  their  absolute  lack  of  plan 
or  system. 

Mr.  Valentine,  who  is  supposed  to  have  edited  the 
"  Manuals,"  was  clerk  of  the  Common  Council  during  the 
publication  of  all    but   the    last    three,  and,  although    an

INTRODUCTION. 

amiable  gentleman,  was  not,  as  is  generally  believed,  a 
great  historical  scholar,  but  gathered  what  he  could  find  for 
his  books  without  any  very  searching  investigation  as  to  its 
merit.  Fortunately  for  him  and  for  us,  among  his  advisers 
and  helpers  were  a  number  of  very  excellent  authorities  on 
our  old  history,  such  as  William  Kelby,  H.  B.  Dawson, 
Dr.  Francis,  and  a  few  others,  to  whom  their  historical  value 
is  chiefly  due. 

During  a  number  of  years  of  a  somewhat  close  study  of 
the  older  history  of  the  city,  I  often  found  the  "  Manuals  " 
useful  as  guides,  so  that  I  accumulated  quite  a  large  number 
of  references  to  the  various  volumes,  and  when  a  portion 
of  these  was  accidentally  destroyed  I  determined  to  go 
carefully  over  the  whole  mass  again.  The  2325  references 
which  form  this  index  are  the  result  of  this  second  examin- 
tion.  The  first  column  to  the  right  of  the  page  refers  to 
the  date  of  the  manual,  the  second  to  the  pages. 

It  will  be  necessary  to  say  that  these  references  are 
mainly  to  the  subject-matter  and  not  to  the  long  lists  of 
officers  which  occur  there,  as  most  of  these  can  be  found  in 
the  alphabetical  list  in  the  volume  for  1870. 

Of  course  the  index  Avas  made  for  my  own  use  at  the 
time,  but  at  the  request  of  Mr.  Harper,  who  believed  it 
would  interest  others  sufificiently  to  warrant  him  in  printing 
it,  I  cheerfully  turned  it  over  to  him  and  will  be  well  repaid 
if  it  serves  to  stimulate  and  keep  alive  that  interest  in  old 
New  York  which  now  seems  to  be  so  general.
